In this year by the Digital Museum course our partner was the Hungarian Jewish Archives.
Most of the time people say, archives are only buildings where we collect dusty and almost dead and useless documents and there only professionals and experts are able to find interesting things and stories. Now, our studendts wanted to change this suppositions. They were searching and interpreting topics such us: a family film from a wedding ceremony, a forgotten cemetery in a beautiful part of Budapest, and a Jewish gastronomiy.
Interactive applications designed for a wider audiance and involved the users in the investigation in order that they are able to cover up the facts about jewish heritage on a playful and active way. The projects used the latest digital technologies and try to bring closer to the ancient Jewish communitz in today's society.
